But they seem to think that just about all the ballot proposals are going down, but voting on the EM law will be very close.

Some polls in the western UP are still open. Ballot proposals are going down in flames. Polls in Eastern time zone closed at 8, western UP is on Central time.

the rest are eastern and have closed. Though I've heard there are still people in line at some locations locally so even some of the ones that close at 8 still have people waiting.
